This cuvee has been produced by M. Chapoutier since 2002, Domaine Cambrien "La Pleiade" is a 100% Shiraz produced in the Heathcote appellation (the centre of the Victoria) in Australia. The vineyard is planted on an exceptionally rare soil, composed of virgin red soil that dates back to the Cambrian period. Harvest occurred at the end of March. The grapes were vinified for 6 weeks in open concrete vats and yeast was added. The wine matured in new French barrels for 12 months.

A deep magenta, Domaine Cambrien "La Pleiade" 2016 by M. Chapoutier develops complex aromas. Fragrances of red fruits and spices are perfectly paired together. Powerful and elegant in the mouth, this wine has a great mineral characteristic and has a precise attack. Ready to drink within two or three years until 2036.
